I had the opposite experience in Colombia. A bad taxi driver stole my iPhone in Medellín. I tracked the phone to a bad neighborhood in the south where he changed the phone’s name to Juan’s iPhone. The cops were more professional and helpful than I’ve experienced anywhere else in the world. They met me in the neighborhood and we tracked the phone to a six story apartment building. I assumed that was the end of it, because I knew the location but not what floor of the building it was on, but the cops said they knew of a taxi driver with a reputation for stealing phones. We went to his apartment and knocked. In that moment my iPhone went offline, so it was obvious he was there and knew the cops had found him. The police asked us to go to our taxi and pretend to leave. Meanwhile they wandered the neighborhood pretending they were still trying to track the phone. The trick worked. The phone thief made a run for it and we caught him. I was blown away by how effective and dedicated the Medellín police were.

@@TheFruitingChamber of course I used a passcode. Not sure how he got around it, but I know the thief jailbroke the phone, and I was surprised I could still track it after he did that.

you gotta be pretty street savvy in Colombia, I typically visited less touristy places, but typically left my jewelry, phone, passport, most cash in the hotel rooms safe and only brought $20 a passport copy with me, when walking around the city. If two guys on a bike pull up next to you and stick a gun to your head, thats pretty easy to give up. Also, not dressing like a tourist and walking around with a backpack and all that, is a pretty good idea. Just trying to blend in and always being aware of your surroundings

I've traveled extensively. Back pockets/waist bags/backpacks are an invitation to brazen street thieves. The very best solution I've learned is my "heavier quality" leather chest bag that is flat. It's got /strong straps/buckles THAT ARE ATTACHED WELL. Worn over the head and one arm through in front of you ABOVE your waist. Some have a strap that incircles your upper waist, which I didn't care for. The good: It's positioned allowing hands free service, and access is directly where you need it, not hanging to the side or need of removal. The downside: You've less room for your possibles, but THATS good as well. Less to entice or loose. The best: Money transactions are so much faster/safer/and close to your vision. Mine has an inside front flap that folds out to semi-shield prying eyes while sorting monies. Purchased in Spain for a song, it flat WORKS. ~Best

We never got it back and by the time we called our bank to alert them several items had been bought with our visa, they said it was because he patted his pocket to check that his wallet was safe actually alerted a thief to wear his wallet was. He now has a pair of shorts with a slash through them and a crazy story. We’re grateful he wasn’t hurt.

I was raised in Cartagena until 06', my parents used to take my siblings and I to Tairona every summer in our Renault wagon. We also went into the Sierra Nevada, beautiful jungle with ice cold rivers. It used to be way less popular and crowded in the early 90's! Very Fond memories. Sadly Cartagena has been going through a very rough spot since covid and since illegal immigration from Venezuela. The future looked extremely bright in 2010ish, but horrible city management, overbuilding, overtourism, sex tourism, drug tourism, violence etc. has almost completely ruined the city. It's just a mere shadow of how tranquil and beautiful the city used to be. In my 18 years living there I never got robbed or never heard of anyone I knew experiencing it, but nowadays, I'm not surprised, especially in the area you were walking through. The cops are just extremely underpaid (and sometimes not even paid) locals who have extremely low morale and motivation....unless you bribe them.

I have been travelling around the world for a long time, thankfully. The only times I had problems were in France. As an Italian that was awful, twice.

@dawatislamiarmyoftheummah we were insulted, followed and attacked at a party where they threw bottles at us. In another occasion also assaulted and threatened.

New to your channel, but I think it's pretty awesome. The one bizarre thing though is that you sound so familiar when i hear you speak. I think its because your mannerisms and sayings sound exactly the way my friends and I sound when we're around each other. Hopefully you take that as a compliment. Anyways keep up the good work, and maybe we'll swing by Patreon soon as well. Thanks again

Protection of tourists is SO important for a developing country. Otherwise it prevents tourists from visiting and creates a bad reputation for the whole country. Even the smallest of crimes has a MASSIVE impact. Columbia the one country this guy gets robbed in. Quite telling.

Lol idk where you're from. But here in America , cops wouldn't have done a damn thing either. He wasn't robbed because he still has his phone. It was an attempted robbery. And he has no proof. I got my windshield smashed in, had texts from the guy who did it, knew his address, and the cops still couldn't do anything except write a report and tell me I had the option to take him to court. Which I did. But what do you expect? Lol

Im a decently experienced traveler. Backpacked Mexico, Thailand, and i have a family house i visit in Jamaica often. Semi fluent in Spanish and let me tell you, Cartagena is no joke. There's a lot of positives but the negatives really cancel it out. Fun party scene but man it gets tiring needing to watch your back all the time. I thought i knew all the extortion tricks at playa Hollywood but they tried to pull something on me. Rented umbrella, table, chairs for set price. Lets say 40. Then we drank the tequila we brought for a while. Went to pay and leave and they tried to charge 300usd. Reason was we were drinking on their table? 5 guys surrounded the 2 of us and i argued back in spanish w them. After several minutes i offered 65 and they took it. Still, idk what wouldve happened if a person didnt know spanish. Im not disparaging a whole country. Id like to see more of Colombia bc im sure its better than cartagena. Those hagglers on the beach put the Jamaicans to shame. Ive felt safe in tourist spots like cabo san lucas and negril and non tourist like the jamaican bush, mexico city, and chiapas. But cartagena is the wild west.

Also everything is a fake. Don't pay for expensive liquor or cigars. The bottles are different and they change the labels. Watch out

They have those centipedes in Hawaii as well. When you say, “ Anything can happen today,” in Colombia, I get nervous. The buses in Ecuador 100% better. You need to pay those women just for existing because they can’t fool you with other hustles. = BS. Those guys rapping for you? No. For money. There was a gold laden ship found recently on the bottom of the ocean near Colombia. You think Spain feels badly about killing thousands and taking all the gold from South America? They are fighting to get this gold not even considering history. Phones are very expensive in Ecuador, more than Colombia. One phone will feed a family for at least a month and everybody’s got one. Mine was robbed, in Quito, out of my house. I was getting rid of some accumulated junk in the house to a recycle truck. The driver was helping me and when he left my phone was gone, from my bed! The police might have helped you, if you paid them. Money is everything in this world. Without it you are nothing. I am looking at moving to a rich country in Europe just so I don’t feel so vulnerable.

Welcome to latin america. It all depends on the cops you talk to. They can either help you, do nothing, or even rob you. It's like that in most of latin america. Also don't go to places without people. No people around in latin america means danger. Cheers, and I hope one day I see you here in Guatemala!

my only travel outside the US ..... 2008 to Bogota which was not fun..some good food and nice shopping mall but very noisy .... however we took my GFs Jeep on a road trip and stayed in Villa de Leyva for a few days .... HIGHLY recommended ... the locals are very friendly , , the town is very historic , the hotel was super nice , the food was fantastic and we took a hike into the jungle and repelled in a 100ft waterfall ....

Also it would be wise to carry your backpack in front so it would turn to frontpack Or else you might find one day all your pockets opened while you focused on something else Saw that happening in touristy areas a lot

Even in the States cops don't do much when you get robbed. They'll file a police report and tell you that they will look into it and you probably won't hear much from them after that, unless it's an extremely easy case to solve.

Your v-logs are special in a very 'can't put my finger on it' way, Connor. Authentico! Congratulations. There's just a funny observation though -- for someone from Washington DC (the dupe capital of the world, the established hub of taking advantage of the world) to get startled by people trying to dupe them for a change. Irrespectively, great couple of Colombian freestylin' rappers there - wish you'd just plug in their social media here out of the goodwill of your heart, so that they'd find an audience through you. Thasall. Safe travels.

That's Colombia for you. My friend got his phone stolen by a pickpocket in the Medellin metro. I'm never going back to Colombia.
